SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 7, 2017) - #BigSwitch Networks, The Next-Generation Data Center Networking Company, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Visionaries Quadrant of the 2017 Magic Quadrant for Data Center Networking[i] for Big Cloud Fabric (BCF), its next-generation data center switching fabric. To view the report, please go to: http://bit.ly/2tQst22 Per Gartner, network solutions for enterprise data centers are evolving to support for better agility and cloud architectures. Enterprise I&O leaders should evaluate multiple vendors, and focus on comparing architectures, software features and infrastructure integration capabilities, not hardware specifications. "We consider our positioning in the Visionaries Quadrant by Gartner as confirmation of our mission to provide next-gen networking solutions as customers transform their data centers," said Douglas Murray, CEO, Big Switch Networks. "Big Cloud Fabric's operational simplicity and ease of management delivers next-generation network innovation to any organization, and we are honored to be recognized as a Visionary." Big Cloud Fabric is a next-generation data center switching fabric inspired by the design principles hyper-scale operators like Facebook and Google have developed to build intelligent, agile and highly flexible network architectures. It leverages software-defined networking (SDN) principles to architect a redundant logical switch architecture consisting of hundreds of switches and deliver intent-based networking workflows to streamline and accelerate IT operations. Customers benefit from unprecedented application agility due to automation, order-of-magnitude operational simplification due to SDN management, deep visibility through built-in telemetry and analytics and significant cost reduction due to hardware/software disaggregation. #BigCloudFabric supports all workloads via built-in integration that includes, #VMware #SDDC, #RedHat #OpenStack, and container environments, such as #Docker, #Kubernetes, #RedHat #OpenShift and #Mesosphere. BCF can be deployed in existing data centers as a new pod or can interact with traditional networks. The scale-out fabric operates like one redundant logical switch, is fully resilient with no single point of failure, and supports headless mode operations. Customers implement BCF for multiple use cases including: IaaS cloud, hyper-converged infrastructures, network function virtualization, cloud-native applications, big data, desktop virtualization and IP storage. "We are thrilled to be included in the Visionaries Quadrant. At Big Switch, our goal is to disrupt the status quo of networking with order of magnitude improvements in network intelligence, agility, and flexibility while lowering CapEx costs by up to 50%," said Prashant Gandhi, Chief Product Officer, Big Switch Networks. "We feel being positioned in the Visionaries Quadrant further validates our innovative and differentiated approach to next-generation data center networking, based on SDN fabric control software and open networking hardware, and the broad-based acceptance of Big Cloud Fabric by mainstream enterprise and service provider customers." Organizations around the world continue to select Big Switch for data center modernization. In 2016 the company more than doubled its customer count and is on track to do the same for 2017. In 2016, Big Switch established a dedicated presence in China, EMEA and ANZ regions, in addition to its subsidiary in Japan, to support global demand for its products. Additionally, Big Switch has more than a dozen customers who have purchased $1M+ in recurring software licenses. Customers are located in more than 25 countries, in verticals that include: technology, financial services, government, retail, automotive, media, telecom and higher education.
